WTF??? I have no connection to that kennel at all, for one thing you are assuming that I am one of those people that treats dogs in that way and believe me you are well of the mark....my point is, why should it be in the media before something is done about it? that is absolute bs, and for your info it does happen over there, I know of one pretty big trainer who on the way to Horsham lost his whole trailer as it wasnt connected properly, it went down the bank and hit a tree, and they still put the bloody dogs in the races and even the stewards had a giggle so I am sorry, where was there any inquirery there, there wasnt one, maybe had it of hit the media they wouldnt have giggled so much and actually did something about it

That's the point I am trying to make, he is guilty of stupidity, but how do they justify someone getting done for drugging there dog for the second time in 4 months Nd all he got was a fine? That should have been a suspension maybe someone should let the media know when these things happen and then they might be penalized appropriately, then we might start getting some of the idiots out of the game!

Who cares how he got caught, as long as he did and was penalised for it!!!
BTW I'm not assuming anything, you asked for comment on the issue and then dissagreed with what everyone else said, I never once accused you of mistreating dogs.
As far as these stories from the past go, who cares nothing can be done now???? This one was handled the right way and I hope it has set a precedence for any future acts of dickheadness anywhere!!
I recommend that if you are unhappy with a way a certain issue was handled by stewards that you can take it further by writing to either the relevant control board or the minister for racing in that state!!!

Clearly u can't read what is in front of u, maybe without disapproving eyes u should read it all again, not o ce did I have a dig at anyone for having an opinion, unlike some, I gave mine and they gave theirs, I am pretty sure that is what a forum is All about, I didn't make assumptions about u but u were quick to make them towards me, and yes u did insinuate that I was o e of those types of people.

It is an integrity issue, ghats the point apparently it isn't ok to put ur dogs in a situation where they may get hurt (mind u we put them in that situation everytime we put them around the track) but yet it seems that it isn't that important if u dope ur dog up to the eyeballs and Christ knows what that is doing to them, oh and FYI that report only came out last week as that was when the suspension started

Please highlight where I insinuated that you are one of those "type of people"?????????????
I simply agreed with everyone else on the matter as well as the stewards and I would hazard a guess with 99% of anyone else who is aware of the incident! You cannot live in the past Kyleigh and compare acts of stupidity or negligence against one another, believe it or not I only have the future of our sport at heart and the sooner we cull the idiots out of greyhound racing then the better, wouldn't you agree?? I too have seen some horrific things happen at the races and the trials some have gone punished and some have not, what are we to do about it? Its the same in everyday life!!

I agreed with it, just not the way that they went about it all, it shouldnt take for something to hit the media before something is done, if this didnt hit the media, all he would have gotten was a small fine, for the whole thing and that is the point....the reason they was so many pics and film footage of it is because the cops that pulled him up were the cops off the reality police show.....

I can compare incidents to each other and I will continue to do so as that is my job, I too am fully pasionate about the sport and moving forward cause if it keeps going the way it is going now, no we wont have one to bitch about anymore will we?

if more people who felt this way did jump up and down a bit more often then things would get done

Well lets hope that the relevant Control Boards, Club Committee's along with committee members (even if newly elected) start leading by example and making these monkeys accountable for their actions as well as making sure the integrity of our sport is not compromised!!! If you care to contact me via PM I would only be too happy to give some issue's that I have at the moment!!
